APPL-13-000007 - The macOS system must be configured to disable hot corners.

Information

Although hot corners can be used to initiate a session lock or launch useful applications, they can also be configured to disable an automatic session lock from initiating. Such a configuration introduces the risk that a user might forget to manually lock the screen before stepping away from the computer.

Solution

Configure the macOS system to disable hot corners by installing the 'Custom Policy' configuration profile.
